based on score frequencies.¨ The Rorschach test requires an imaginative mind although Charlie did not have a very active imagination himself; he was a literal person at the beginning of the book. Perhaps they had tried a similar test with Algernon before the surgery besides the maze afterward.

Make sure there is a sensory environment that meets “low levels of stimulation during quiet times and more active…
